Step 2 / 5

The problem and the goal

What problem are you trying to solve, and how is it handled today?*

What's slow, manual, error-prone or impossible right now?

The single most important outcome, e.g. "cut quote time from a day to ten minutes".

Please describe what success looks like.

How are you handling this at the moment?

By hand or on paper In spreadsheets An off-the-shelf tool that doesn't quite fit Software we already had built It isn't being handled at all

Please tell us what matters most first.

Who will use it?*
